Where to find the best fried chicken in Seoul (Part 1)

Fried chicken is one of the most popular dishes in South Korea that are favored by all ages of Korean. Tourists can easily find a fried chicken shop in Korean streets. The most famous type is ‘chimaeg‘, a blend of fried chicken (chi) and beer (maekju), as a standard meal combo during South Korean night outs. Here are some addresses for you to enjoy fried chicken in Korea.

Poulet Chicken 뿔레치킨

Poulet Chicken is not your ordinary chicken place. They’re famous for their specialty items, such as ‘Carbonara Chicken’. The tender chicken pieces go incredibly well in their creamy carbonara sauce giving you a whole new Korean fried chicken experience. Poulet Chicken also offers their own craft beer ‘fresh cream draft beer’ that enhances the flavor of the chicken even more.

BBQ Chicken 비비큐치킨

While BBQ Chicken is a nationwide fried chicken franchise in Korea, there is one particular location in Seoul that has become a popular place for K-Pop fans. What does fried chicken have in common with Korean pop music? Not much except for the fact that this BBQ Chicken in Seogyu-gu is operated by Infinite Sungyeol’s parents. The Korean pop idol says he even sometimes helps his parents at the restaurant. Maybe you can catch a glimpse of him if you visit.
